An elaborate menu of recreational amenities is not required for a great vacation. While some will be happier at a hotel with a lot of recreational activities available, others are perfectly content with one or two recreational amenities, because all they really care about is having a comfortable, relaxing place to stay. Although it does not offer a very extensive array of active recreational amenities the Castles by the Sea may have what everything you really care about.

Water and Fitness

While each vacationer has their own agenda, there are a wide variety of activities and attractions in Jamaica. Lounging at the hotel's pool may not be at the top of your list of things to do, but it can be a good way to unwind and relax.

Tennis

Although the hotel offers tennis, it isn't rated very high for this amenity. There are 150 rooms and 1 tennis court. This comes out to an average of approximately 360 guests per tennis court, which isn't as good as the ratio provided by some other hotels. There will be opportunities to play a match, but during the high tourism season you may find it necessary to wait until an opportune time, like when most other guests are sunning at the beach. A lit court is not available, so you will have to schedule your playing time during the day.

Golf

Even though there isn't a golf course at the Castles by the Sea, it may be feasible to schedule a tee time at a local course if you want to play a round or two during your visit.

Watersports

A trip to Jamaica can be the perfect opportunity to try your hand at a new recreational sport. There are a multiple options available at the hotel, so you will be sure to find a watersport to enjoy, even if you're a novice.

Playing games can be a fun way to relax during your stay. The hotel has a game room where guests of all ages can have a blast. The hotel's playground can be a special addition to your family vacation. It offers the perfect place for children to safely release some of their pent up energy, while their parents spend a bit of time relaxing on the sidelines.

An organized children's program is offered by the hotel. This program gives children an opportunity to have a ball with other kids staying at the hotel.

No matter how much you love them, you may want to spend a few hours away from the kids. Guests can arrange for a babysitter, so parents have the opportunity for a bit of quiet time.

Entertainment and Nightlife

Tourists who are seeking a holiday chock full of live entertainment and a lively night club scene might want to look elsewhere. After all, the surrounding area is not known for its nightlife, and the hotel doesn't provide live entertainment. Still, if that isn't a fatal flaw the Castles by the Sea may offer the perfect getaway. The hotel doesn't even have a nightclub or bar, so you won't be kept awake by noise from a dance floor.

Other Recreation

No matter where you go in Jamaica you'll find plenty to see and do, so you aren't restricted to the activities this hotel offers. From a lazy afternoon relaxing on the beach, to a few hours attending a local cultural event, how you enjoy your tropical retreat is completely up to you.
